Drilling services, equipment manufacturing, and orebody-data technology for mining operations
Boart Longyear operates a diversified mining-services business spanning contract drilling, equipment manufacturing, and orebody-data software across 26 countries. The tech stack reflects a traditional industrial operator—Oracle ERP, Salesforce, Power BI, and PLC/CAN-bus equipment controls—with heavy hiring skewed toward operations and junior roles, signaling infrastructure scaling and field-execution focus rather than software-product innovation. Active projects center on safety training, EHS compliance, and downtime reduction, consistent with the operational pain-point mix (equipment failure, compliance, working-capital management).
Boart Longyear is a public mining-services company founded in 1890 and headquartered in West Valley City, Utah. The business delivers drilling services (contract and operator-led), manufactures drilling equipment and tooling, and develops orebody-data software for mineral exploration and development. The company operates approximately 6,000 employees across 26 countries as of 2023, with active presence in Indonesia, Australia, Canada, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the United States. Core services include contract drilling, mine de-watering, environmental sampling, and oil-sands exploration; the orebody-data platform is positioned as a technology lever for mineral-development workflows.
